ucrtbased.pdb not loaded Using Visual Studio.

Question

Hello,

I am using windows 10 home, visual studio version community 14.0.25425.01 Update 3. (C++)  When I step out of a class and continue stepping in the main source file I am getting : ucrtbased.pdb not loaded.  The module information version is 10.0.14393.33 (rs1_release_sec.160727-1952)  Original location : C:\Windows\SysWow64\ucrtbased.dll.  

I couldn't find this .pdb file on the computer and there is an option to view disassembly.  

I already have update 3 so I'm not sure what to do...

This happens when stepping through the global regions of the source file.  Could you help me please?

Thank you,

JoshuaE

Hi JoshuaE,

Other community members also submitted the similar connect report to the product team here:

Please make sure that you install the Windows 10 SDK and the latest version.

Please also enable the Microsoft Symbols Server under TOOLS->Options->Debugging->Symbols.

Debug it again.

Best Regards,

Jack

I installed what you said and changed the setting.  Still didn't work.  So, I thought I'll plug that computer into the internet and it seemed to download what it needed...

So now when I step through it it creates a source called intiterm.cpp and goes there.  I don't know whats going on, it isn't my code, I'm just trying to step through my global code!

Help me please,

Joshuae

Hi Joshuae,

Do you mean that you computer doesn't connect the internet before? If so, it couldn't download the symbols even if you enabled the symbols server.

Do you enable the source server?

Answer 4

I enabled the source server, I also just updated KB3165756 and still when I press f10 to step over the source file it enters the function _initterm in Disassembly.  Is it possible to step through the global source code?

So far hasn't worked,

Joshuae

Answer 5

You get desired result, if disabling symbol-loading for respective module? In your case ucrtbased.dll?
e.g. in Debug->Options... Debugging->Symbols 'Specify exluded modules?

With kind regards

Answer 6

No, didn't work.  Maybe it's the solution and I should make a new project?

Joshuae

This is the first time I have tied separating all the header and all the class documents?  f11 steps into the class fine and Continue goes to next breakpoint fine, but f10 goes to the disassembly.

The pdb is in the cache, there are a few different dll versions.  And there is ucrtbase.dll.

Answer 7

Strange.

Some adjustments, which influence stepping behaviour (VS2015):
In 'Debug->Options...' 'Debugging->General'
 Uncheck 'Enable address level debugging'
 Check 'Enable Just My Code'
In 'Debug->Windows->Exception Settings' 'Restore the list to the default settings'.

With kind regards
